Non-slip bath coating in Whittington, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Whittington questions

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are there extra charges for Whittington?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Landlord and trade work in Whittington

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whittington

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whittington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
